Techrights-secYes, I should also promote Heads.Dec 30 10:32
Techrights-secElephants are quite interesting creatures.Dec 30 10:32
Techrights-secVery wise and empathic.  Dec 30 10:32

Techrights-secLast update was 2018.  Dec 30 10:32
Techrights-secTHere has been a run of anti-privacy articles recently.Dec 30 10:32
Techrights-secThe theme is extreme violation of basic rights in order to crack horribleDec 30 10:32

schestowitzytalk hung up when I was downstairs doing exercise, I got text ranging from the above [start...finish]. Did I miss anything before or in between/after?Dec 30 10:38
Techrights-secNo, that was it.  I think.  The program disappeared when the disconnectionDec 30 10:40
Techrights-secoccured.  I have been quiet since then.  Dec 30 10:40
Techrights-secExercise is good.Dec 30 10:40
Techrights-secIt's midday and though it seems very bright it measures at under 60 LuxDec 30 10:40
schestowitzNordic blogger Daniel Anexanderson (not real surname, I forgot) mentioned buying lights, or maybe it was Daniel of CurlDec 30 10:41
schestowitzytalk deals extremely poorly with terminal resizes, I must remember never to mess with anything there once it is set. Works well only if I leave it with alerts, tinker-free, no disconnectionsDec 30 10:42
Techrights-secAs for the text, there have been several articles on abusing surveillance.Dec 30 10:44
Techrights-secI wonder if it is part of a campaign.Dec 30 10:44
Techrights-secLights are not needed except for video conferencing, which I don't do/Dec 30 10:44
Techrights-secHOwever, in the other parts of the year, sunglasses are obligatory.Dec 30 10:44
Techrights-secYou can run ytalk inside a tmux session.  That makes it more robust againstDec 30 10:44
Techrights-secdisconnection.Dec 30 10:44
Techrights-secMaybe emacs in collaboration mode would be better.Dec 30 10:44
schestowitzI was going to try tmux, but then I thought, no... too much extra complexity where not much is needed. I am mostly accustomed to ytalk by now. I tried to resize to see if the buffer had something (recent) above "Just donated to Tails." and you said no, so I assume I lost nothing, not even after  " The theme is extreme violation of basic rights in order to crack horrible" Dec 30 10:45
schestowitzI wrote a lot about privacy today as it seems to be a theme in general and needs rebutting. I shall do a video in a moment, have not decided on topic yet. OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS!Dec 30 10:46
schestowitzI cannot do any video on a subject I'm not really familiar with as that might lead to errors that are impossible to correct (editing text is easier)Dec 30 10:47
Techrights-secText would be more appropriate than video.  WIth text you can think things Dec 30 10:48

schestowitzI saw only this one article about it; it was actually sent to me when an error, only a title but no URL. Had to search the Web and find many copies (also Yahoo) of that same reportDec 30 10:48
schestowitzThere's already an abundance (I think) of videos and talks about all aspects of spying and privacy, very few on software freedom, so would rather focus on what's scarceDec 30 10:49
